Abstract

In transport-layer protocols such as TCP over ATM networks, a packet is discarded when one or more cells are lost in that packet, and the destination node then requires its source to retransmit the corrupted packet. Therefore, once one of cells constituting a packet is lost, its subsequent cells of the corrupted packet waste network resources. Thus, discarding those cells will enable us to efficiently utilize network resources and will improve the packet loss probability. In this paper, we focus on Tail Dropping (TD) and Early Packet Discard (EPD) as selective cell discard schemes which enforce the switches to discard some of arriving cells instead of relaying them. We exactly analyze the packet loss probability in a system applying these schemes. Their advantage and limit are then discussed based on numerical results derived through the analysis.
